Memories Songtext
von Deep Rooted

It′s just a lifetime of memories passing me by
At the eve of destruction and we happy to die
See the pain on my face and you asking me why
Always do, never try, cause grown men do cry
It's just a lifetime of memories passing me by
At the eve of destruction and we happy to die
See the pain on my face and you asking me why
Always do, never try, cause grown men do cry

Planet earth, was my place of birth
Born and raised in the 80′s, nigga came from dirt
Had one pair of pants and a change of shirts

Took whatever moms gave me and made it work
Train of hurt, living in this everyday struggle


Just to earn another dollar is a everyday hustle
Mama's only baby boy so it's day-to-day ruggles
Pops was really never there so that nigga don′t love you
And that′s, yeah, I am what I am
Chose to rock the microphone instead of baking up grams
Always told to plead the fifth, fuck taking a stand
Had dreams of making babies but that shit wasn't planned
Caught in a jam, searching for a way to come out

Tryna cop my son some keys for his brand new house

Fake niggas doubt, radio they front on the wax
Say they won′t play our records unless we talk about crack
Talk about facts, talk about uplifting your people

Then they treat you like a terrorist and label you evil
Hope that we reach you, look at all the pain in my eyes
Always do, never try, cause grown men do cry

It's just a lifetime of memories passing me by
At the eve of destruction and we happy to die
See the pain on my face and you asking me why
Always do, never try, cause grown men do cry
It′s just a lifetime of memories passing me by
At the eve of destruction and we happy to die
See the pain on my face and you asking me why
Always do, never try, cause grown men do cry

I'm from a place called the ghetto, full of poverty homes
Where our fashion is the best, beats and rhymes on our dome


Selling the chips, cheese, teas, everything crisp
Where the block steals your soul, hustle early and miss
Burn when you piss, chicks burn, burnin′ like this

Hit the studio and pumping out nothing but hits
Loving this shit, we feel it deep in our veins
Showing honor when the booth crowd's yelling our name
Remember the name, deep in the soul when I talk
Duke Ellington the beats, hold my hoe when I walk
This corner is dark, bring a little light on my part
Man this industry is crooked, barely playing my part
Soon as I start shit, I'm elevating your mind

Like a ski lift climbing biggest mountains you find

Never confine, roll a little stick of the lime
And float away in my thoughts, Africa in it′s prime
Blessing the rhyme, action never riding the pine
Make sense when I′m talking with my limited time
Loving my fam, deep in the building our plans
Give you verse after verse til they understand

It's just a lifetime of memories passing me by
At the eve of destruction and we happy to die
See the pain on my face and you asking me why
Always do, never try, cause grown men do cry
It′s just a lifetime of memories passing me by
At the eve of destruction and we happy to die
See the pain on my face and you asking me why
Always do, never try, cause grown men do cry
